PLEASE... Take Note

This is a big website and I get a number of questions on these pages every single week. Also, this isn't my only website. Since I am providing free information and advice here for you, I'd like to ask that you treat me with the same courtesy.

Please type your question and personal information (if you include it) with correct punctuation and capitalization. This is not IM or text messaging. Your questions create pages on my site and I want them to look right. And I don't want to have to spend hours going through all your submissions and correcting punctuation and caps. You wouldn't type your resume or cover letter in all lower case, would you? Well, then, don't do it to me either!

So, if you say "I", type it as a capital, not a lower case "i", OK? And begin new sentences with a capital, as well as your name and city/state. I thank you in advance for your courtesy and respect.

But, if you can't be bothered to format your question in a professional manner, then I won't hesitate to hit my delete button either. I don't mean to be harsh, but I just cannot keep spending hours correcting your entries. That's time I could be spending answering your questions. I'd much rather put that time into improving this site!
